About Douglas

I am a former senior attorney with the Social Security Administration who now puts his government experience to work helping people in need.  Before joining SSA I was a staff attorney with Legal Services of New Jersey where I exclusively practiced social security disability law.  I also now practice landlord and tenant law that I had experience in as a law clerk for Legal Services of New Jersey.  I have handled multiple cases involving nonpayment of rent, failure of landlords to make repairs, and reasonable accomodations.
